Having described my invention in such terms as to enable those skilled in the art to understand and practice it, and having identified the presently preferred embodiments thereof, I claim:
1. A surgical glove including a plurality of stalls each for one of the digits of a hand, at least one of said stalls including
- (a) a puncture resistant copolymer material section normally positioned over and contacting at least a portion of the inner surface of one of the digits;
- (b) a thin elastic section attached to said first section and extending continuously around and elastically conforming to the digit and maintaining the first puncture resistant section against said portion of the inner surface of the digit;
said puncture resistant portion comprising a thin elastic polymer material having
- (c) a puncture resistance under ASTM D-1709 of greater than 500 grams for a 1.0 mil thick piece of said polymer;
- (d) an Elmendorf tear strength under ASTM D-1922 of greater than 400 grams for a 1.0 mil thick piece of said polymer;
- (e) a 2% secant modulus under ASTM D-882 of less than 20,000 psi;
- (f) an ultimate tensile strength under ASTM D-882 in excess of 6,000 psi; and,
- (g) a moisture vapor transmission rate of less than three gram-mil per 100 in2,-day-atmosphere,
said glove when worn permitting said portion of said inner surface to retain displacement and non-displacement tactile sensitivity.
